Routine maintenanceC
Clean the outside and inside of the machine 
regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth. When you 
replace the toner cartridge or the drum unit, 
make sure that you clean the inside of the 
machine. If printed pages are stained with 
toner, clean the inside of the machine with a 
dry, lint-free cloth.

contain ammonia, alcohol, any type of 
spray, or any type of flammable substance 
to clean the outside or inside of the 
machine. Doing this may cause a fire or 
electrical shock. (For more information see

cartridge assembly of the color causing 
the problem.
